You great intellectuals, great constitutional experts, if only you had listened to French-language television in the past three days, you would have heard terms like great Canadian, great Quebecer, but the ordinary people said, " He was one of us, a great French Canadian" .
Vous, les grands intellectuels, les grands constitutionnalistes, si seulement vous écoutiez depuis trois jours la télévision française, on dit le «grand Canadien», le «grand Québécois», mais le peuple, lui, dit: «C'était un des nôtres, c'était un grand Canadien français».
